Bing cherry fruit from trees on 4 sour cherry interstocks with 2 mazzard and 2 mahaleb rootstocks were evaluated 2 seasons for interstock/rootstock effects on fruit firmness, weight, soluble solids, size, color, and yield. Rootstock exerted a greater influence than interstock. Firmness, weight, soluble solids and fruit size tended to be greater with mazzard than mahaleb stocks while yields tended to be lower. Fruit size, firmness, and crop load were only partially interdependent since larger cherries from trees on mazzard stocks were also firmer than from mahaleb stocks.
